People inside and outside Taiyuan City fled in all directions after suffering indiscriminate attacks, not daring to stand under the city for long.
However, this action undoubtedly angered many civilians. They had come merely to witness the execution of a demon, but instead of seeing the demon killed, they were now being indiscriminately attacked by the soldiers on the city walls. Did these soldiers have no humanity?
"You bastards, how could you do this to us? We pay taxes every year."
"Since you are the rulers of Taiyuan, you should protect us civilians. How can you attack us indiscriminately now?"
The people below the city began to curse, pointing at the soldiers on the ramparts. These soldiers were supposed to protect the people, but instead, they were attacking indiscriminately. Such people should not remain in Taiyuan.
The people below the city left behind hundreds of bodies and then fled far away, leaving only enemies who had not escaped.
He Qiuan had also arrived nearby with his men, intending to launch a surprise attack. However, he did not expect the people on the ship to be so inhumane, opening fire directly and exposing him. Since concealment was no longer possible, he directly shouted, "Everyone, charge! Prepare to attack!"
This time, the plan was very simple: everyone fought on their own, with no specific strategy. As long as victory could be achieved, any means were acceptable.
There were over 30 ability users gathered below the city. These ability users were from Bingcheng and Yuzhou. Yuzhou had only a dozen or so, and most of them were teenagers. The main force was the ability users from Bingcheng.
Taiyuan's radar detected an unidentified flying object in the sky in the distance and immediately launched missiles, determined to shoot down the object.
They all knew that Shen Feng could now move freely in the sky. Therefore, once he appeared in the sky, it would be extremely dangerous. He absolutely could not be allowed to approach. Thus, any flying object must be shot down.
Shen Feng was indeed flying freely in the sky. After discovering classified information in a manor on the mountain, the three of them chose to attack Taiyuan. However, their attack methods were different. Since Shen Feng could fly in the sky, his target was the most obvious. His mission was to distract the radar.
At this moment, more than a dozen missiles flew towards Shen Feng. These missiles were very fast, exceeding the speed of sound in the sky, and ordinary fighter jets could not evade them.
But at this moment, a violent tornado suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. After its appearance, the tornado raged, whipping countless dust particles from the ground into the sky, causing the visibility to drop sharply. The appearance of the tornado directly interfered with the radar detection. Although the missiles hit the tornado, they exploded within it without causing any harm.
The tornado was too large a target. Even the power of the missile explosions would not be enough to harm Shen Feng, let alone the fact that Shen Feng could protect himself with a barrier.
Seeing that he had successfully tied up the enemy's firepower, Shen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Xiao Yue, I've created a great opportunity for you now. Don't disappoint me!"
In fact, both Shen Feng and Jin Zijue were creating opportunities for Yue Hengyi. Given their abilities, they could easily destroy the city. However, neither of them wanted to do so, and instead gave the opportunity to Yue Hengyi.
Chen Xintie, upon discovering the ferocity of the enemy's offensive, immediately took action. However, this action was not directed at anyone else but at Qin Kewei, who was held captive on the city wall. This woman was now tied to a chair, and could be killed with a single stroke.
"You are useless now. We have used you to lure other ability users. Now, you will die!" Chen Xintie held a short knife and walked towards Qin Kewei.
Qin Kewei looked at the man approaching her step by step and closed her eyes silently. She knew she was doomed this time, and no one could save her.
But at this moment, the radar suddenly detected another flying object, and quickly issued a warning: "Another unidentified flying object has appeared in the sky. We don't know who it is, but it is currently falling rapidly overhead."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky and saw a black dot suddenly appear overhead. This black dot was rapidly enlarging, eventually turning into a huge, round black object. Upon spotting this object, everyone began to shoot into the sky.
Countless bullets were fired into the sky. Almost everyone was worried that the object in the sky would hit them, so they were all firing, trying to shoot it down.
The number of bullets was very large, and many hit the falling object in the sky. However, they were followed by "ding ding dang dang" sounds. The bullets could not penetrate. When the bullets hit the object, only countless sparks flashed, and sparks leaped about, but the object was almost unharmed.
"What on earth is that?" Everyone wondered when their guns could not harm the object.
Seeing the appearance of this thing, Chen Xintie hurried his pace, wanting to kill Qin Kewei as quickly as possible. In this way, his objective would be achieved.
But suddenly, a black dot appeared in the sky. The speed at which this black dot fell was even greater than the previous object. It was a rock the size of a head, falling at a rapid speed.
"Dong," the stone fell directly towards Chen Xintie. Fortunately, Chen Xintie dodged in time. Seeing the stone fall, he immediately dodged to the side. The giant stone landed on the city wall, smashing a huge hole in it.
Chen Xintie's reaction was quick enough to dodge the rock, but others could not dodge such attacks. The disc in the sky suddenly threw down many stones. As soon as these stones were thrown, their speed instantly increased, falling onto the city wall like cannonballs.
"Dong dong dong..." These giant stones continuously fell, hitting the city wall with earth-shattering sounds. Many soldiers could not dodge in time and were hit by the stones, instantly turning into a bloody pulp.
The disc slowly descended from the sky. At this moment, a person on the disc revealed their true face. It was Yue Hengyi. He was standing on a rock disc. Ordinary bullets could not damage the steel disc. In others' hands, the disc was just scrap metal, but in Yue Hengyi's hands, it was an artifact that could fly freely.
"Yue Hengyi, how can you still be alive? We clearly executed you!" Chen Xintie was extremely shocked upon seeing Yue Hengyi appear. A person who should have been dead suddenly appeared before him. Was this a ghost?
The disc hovered in the air, and Yue Hengyi said faintly to Chen Xintie, "You despicable fellows ambushed me before. This time, I have returned from hell specifically for revenge!"
After saying these words, Yue Hengyi went to Qin Kewei's side and used both hands to dismantle the alloy chair. He was now a seventh-tier ability user, and an alloy chair was not enough to trouble him.
Qin Kewei looked at Yue Hengyi, who appeared before her, and tears flowed involuntarily. This was the person she had longed for day and night, and now he appeared before her. She couldn't help but ask, "Am I dreaming right now? Or have I entered an illusion?"
Yue Hengyi extended a hand and pulled Qin Kewei into his arms, not caring that she was covered in filth, nor that he could smell the stench.
"You are not dreaming. I have not died all these years. I have been living in a mountain. I lost my memories during these years, and only regained them a few days ago. I have come to save you!" Yue Hengyi said in a deep voice.
"If this is a beautiful dream, then let me never wake up!" Qin Kewei sobbed uncontrollably on Yue Hengyi's body. She dared not believe that what was happening before her was real. She would rather believe that she had entered an illusion.
Qin Kewei had actually despaired moments ago. She knew she was bound to die, and would suffer the same fate as Yue Hengyi, being publicly executed, branded as infamous, and hearing only curses from those who passed by. Yet, now Yue Hengyi suddenly appeared before her and rescued her. It was as if someone had lifted her to the clouds when she was falling into the abyss. Such a drastic change made her doubt if it was a dream.
If this was truly a dream, she wished she would never wake up.
"You are celebrating too early. No matter how many of you there are, you will all die here today!" Chen Xintie found that a person who should have been dead had appeared before him, but he did not care. He had already prepared to capture all these ability users in one fell swoop.
Chen Xintie took out his walkie-talkie and issued an order. Suddenly, many ability users appeared nearby. These ability users had red cloth strips tied to their arms to distinguish friend from foe, and the execution platform was now surrounded by ability users.
The surviving soldiers on the city wall raised their rifles and began to shoot at Yue Hengyi. But at this moment, Jin Zijue also appeared on the city wall. Countless electric arcs suddenly burst from his body, striking the soldiers and causing many of them to collapse to the ground.
The battles between ability users were beyond the reach of ordinary people, as ability users had ways to incapacitate all ordinary people in an instant. However, when ability users began to fight, it was best for ordinary people to stay as far away as possible. Clearly, the soldiers of Taiyuan did not understand this.
"This is a reunion of lovers. Why are you causing trouble?" Jin Zijue said faintly.
Shen Feng also flew over from a distance. He had long since escaped the missile attack. Seeing Qin Kewei and Yue Hengyi embracing, he knew that the two of them had finally resolved their misunderstandings. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of a battlefield.
At this time, the camera was still focused on Qin Kewei and was broadcasting live to the entire country. After all, today was the day scheduled for the live broadcast of Qin Kewei's execution. The sudden appearance of Yue Hengyi caused countless viewers to erupt in an uproar.
"Why is this demon still alive? Yue Hengyi killed too many innocent people before. He was clearly killed, but now he has appeared on the battlefield!"
"A few years ago, I clearly saw the scene of Yue Hengyi being killed, but now he has appeared perfectly fine and can fly in the sky. What does this mean?"
"Are we all being deceived? Perhaps Yue Hengyi is not dead, but was hidden away and has now reappeared?"
Everyone speculated endlessly, never imagining that a dead person could return to life. In the eyes of many, this was the appearance of two demons. Yue Hengyi had once killed innocent people indiscriminately, and Qin Kewei had caused the city wall to collapse, leading to the destruction of Yanjing. Both of them were heinous criminals, yet they were now embracing each other.
Yue Hengyi said slowly to the camera, "Many things have happened, but now I want to say that these mistakes were not mine. The fault lies with the families of Taiyuan. What happened to us was all orchestrated by these families!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xintie's heart pounded. He thought, "Have these guys found out about the past conspiracy?"
However, there was no time to investigate this. Chen Xintie took out his walkie-talkie and directly ordered, "Cut off all signals here. Absolutely do not let what is happening on the city wall be broadcast."
In an instant, the cameras on the city wall lost their signal, and the live broadcast of Qin Kewei's execution was interrupted.
